    An essential documentary

    This incredibly well made and very sad documentary is important for anyone who wants to understand what the motivates the Palestinians and been behind all the tragedies that have befallen Palestine and Israel since the Nabka. If you don't and have already a narrow fixed view, it may not. I can only agree with the other reviewers Jasper and John who have put together intelligent and coherent reviews that I can not better. I recommend another documentary, The Gatekeepers. This consists of interviews with the retired heads of Shin Bet, one of whom says that there have been opportunities to resolve the conflict, that have not been seen as politically expedient by Israel's ruling political parties. My mother a survivor lost her entire family in the Holocaust and my view of the nightmare that is the Palestinian Israel conflict, has changed 180 degrees in the last 50 years.

    the history in the movie is portrayed badly in favor of the Palestine

    the historic "facts" are,unfortunately, false and a shame to books of history. the movie comes to portray the terrorists lives, and does so badly, with poor thinking and disinformation on the true events who accord dooring those years............ if you are thinking of becoming a terrorist, and to be fulled with hate and lies, then watch this film....... if you want to use some real power, then grab a book and start learning the truth, and peaceful modern ways to deal with the situation! because i am requested to feel ten lines, i am ordered to writ a Lot of junk just the get the ten kines written, which is very hard because i already finished my review but i am compelled to writ more then is needed.
